Featured Article
Going Under, Coming Up by Marianna Scott
I come up sputtering. Hair tangled in sloppy clumps sticking to my wet back. I forgot to take off my mascara so now it seeps in soggy circles around my eyes. Water is getting cold, candles are burning out so I turn on the overhead light. I can see tiny armies of mildew growing on the tile next to the tub.
Album
Brujas, Cholas E Inventadas by HURAÑA

WAKE UP!
The Q is making a full pivot to being a punk zine, spurred by a fantastic album by the band HURAÑA. Released on the Iron Lung record label, HURAÑA’s newest 7” titled “Brujas, Cholas E Inventadas” punches you right in the face with wild aggression.
Film
Bad Education directed by Cory Finley

The cinematography of Bad Education highlights an eerie quality to the school, painting it almost as a perfectly arranged line of dominos: one push and it could all come crashing down.
Book
Lighthead by Terrance Hayes

“I am here because I could never get the hang of Time”, he states. Reading this at a moment where time feels so extremely warped resonated with me.
